When admin adds courses to a learning program, by default it is mapped to the default instance of all the courses but admin can change the instance mapping. The number of courses added into a learning program is also visible in instances page as shown below.

Enroll or unenroll learners to the certification

For more information on enrolling learners and the steps to follow, see Enrolling Learners.

Unenrollment for learners

While creating certifications, Administrator has an option to select whether learners can unenroll themselves from the certification. If Administrator selects the option, then learner can unenroll themselves.

Mark completion

Administrators can mark a Certification complete using the option available to them. To mark the completion of a certification, use the following steps.

Open Certification > Learners.

The Learners page opens with the list of enrolled learners.

Select one/multiple/all learners to mark Certification completion using the checkbox available for each learner.

Click Action > Mark completion.

Note that if a certification has multiple courses, completion will be marked for all the courses.

Editing a published Certification

A certification can be edited by an Administrator at a published state. At this state, the Administrator can edit all the sections of a certification and re-publish.

To edit a published certification, click the certification card and click Edit at the upper-right corner of the page.

Poznámka:

While editing the sections of a certification, if you have to move out of the page, you need to re-publish the certification. You get a dialog confirmation asking you to re-publish the certification.
